Varicose veins are often problematic for patients in the areas of Arlington and Stafford, VA. Dr. Neal and the staff at Washington Dermatology Consultants want to assist individuals in achieving beautiful skin – even when varicose veins are present. This can be achieved with laser ablation.
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are large veins that become problematic. They are easy to spot in the legs and for some patients, not only are they unsightly, but they are often itchy and painful, especially for patients who spend a good part of their days sitting or standing.
Treatment options
There are two treatment options available for patients with varicose veins:
- Sclerotherapy
- Laser ablation
At Washington Dermatology Consultants, we often recommend laser ablation.
Laser ablation for varicose veins
Lasers are being used in all aspects of dermatology and medicine. Laser therapy is one of the most effective ways of treating problems such as varicose veins and even spider veins. The treatment utilizes laser light that penetrates to the veins, closing them, and allowing the healthier veins to manage the transportation of blood throughout the body. This is completely safe and effective, and allows patients to avoid needles used in alternative procedures such as sclerotherapy.
